As someone who intends to live a long and full life, I relate to this book far too deeply. I've read it at least four times since I was fifteen, and always in times of great depression. Somehow knowing that I'm not alone in my thoughts serves to break me out of the fog.

I'm sure I'll turn to it again in the future, though I hope the stretches of time between reads grow further apart.
